I have been a professor of mathematics at the University of Bordeaux
from 1968 to 1999, chairman (six years, 1993-1998) of the laboratory "A2X"
(Laboratoire d'Algorithmique Arithmétique et Expérimentale;
now part of the I.M.B. = Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux),
emeritus from November 1st, 1999 to September 1st, 2014.
I have no longer any status with respect to the university of Bordeaux.
After having worked on Algebraic Number Theory,
first on Galois Module Structures, then on Discriminants
and on Algorithmic Number Theory, I turned to Geometry of Numbers,
more precisely to the theory of lattice packings in Euclidean spaces;
see my Springer book
(Grundlehren nu. 327)
and "L'Enseignement Mathématique"
(Monographie nu. 37) .
